I take no responsibility for anything I ever do or post late at night in a hurry. As HST once said "I wouldn't recommend drugs and violence, but they work for me". Mind you, he blew his brains out with a 45 so it those might not be words from the wise.

<p>What about "Trap Door"? I know, it's mid/ late 80's but it really caught the attention of those of us who were either of a student persusation or chemically challenged at the time.</p>
<p>Plastercine characters, Willy Rushton doing the vocals, stop frame animatiton, it's a must to show your kids.
